Reflections on TEDxLondon: The Education Revolution

Reflections on TEDxLondon: The Education Revolution- With technology at the forefront of education today I concur with the statement made by Dan Roberts, "Technology is not a new tool for learning. It's a whole new way of learning." I witness many teachers falling victim to the demands of the rapid changes that are presented with the ever present technological advancements in today's society. There are factors to be considered with this. For one, many of the older generation teachers have exposure to the technology but no idea of how to effectively utilize. Secondly, the younger generation of teachers, the more exposure they have already had because this is what we have been born into. So we have to have an understanding of where we are, where we are trying to go, and how we are going to get there in regards to technology in the classrooms without feeling pressured by rapidly changing expectations. -just a thought, please feel free to add comments and or suggestions.
